Coffee Shops

Paper Summary:

This paper explores some of the economic statistics regarding the coffee industry, the major and not so major players in the industry, their success rate, the reasons for their success, and the likelihood of their continued success.

From the Paper:

"The coffee industry seems to be one industry that is recession proof. The demand for coffee has continued to rise in recent years despite struggles by other producers of similar goods. It seems that consumers are willing to pay for small luxuries, such as a caramel macchiato, even during tough times. The coffee business has grown exponentially not only in the United States, but also abroad. Many larger names in the coffee industry, such as Starbucks and Seattle's Best coffee (numbers 1 and 2 according to statistics) have already opened shop in dozens of foreign countries. It is likely that as demand continues to grow, so too will expansion. Large coffee businesses are not the only one's profiting however, from the boom in demand for coffee. Smaller players such as Peet's coffee and Dunn's have also realized growth during the last several years."
